By the end of this course you will know how to:
Shape metal to create complex 3D forms using a range of techniques
Apply foil to metal using the keum boo technique
And you will have produced a reference / sample board of pieces that explore
forming, folding and metal foil application
Note: this course is free flowing and experimental in nature and students are encouraged to explore ways to exploit and further extend processes. Students may choose to focus on their favourite process or experiment with all of them, and it is anticipated that every student will have a unique set of outcomes.
These folding and colouring techniques may be used to explore new ways of working, but students may also choose to continue to work on individual projects not relating to fold forming, raising and forging or keum boo.
